Oh No not Caliban again she sighs,
doesn’t want her curv’d lines written for her

no how, ho ho, no way,
art as mere artefact of spont
ayneeus combustion
Ladies and Gentleman in the left corner
Hemingway sweating and sunburnt
bruting up the hill home again
having found some release in dizziness
and the other an elegant creature
the bull survived by a certain skill
of headtbuttingsleeping learned in the taverns
of Marseille , F. said slapping my back

Oh, that second stanza was too amazing!
By the bye, I must confess that I was almost blushing by the end of your last post’s comments trail; such nice words flatter me, though I don’t know if I deserve them…
Very elegant, my friend, one point on which we might differ is whether false humility is still false, you have trekked in the literal Himalayas and you are fantastic artist,

yes I would love to go dancing tonight! would that be the balboa? the beat is quite quick
wow, his fingers are soooo fluid, his left hand pours like water over the keys–would you pass me the champagne please?
oh–the poem! love these 2 lines:
“doesn’t want her curv’d lines written for her
not in my tongue”
Ohh, my aching head, Gwendolyn. I am getting too old for my lifestyle, it is becoming embarrassing. I think I shall retreat to my cave,

sly and brilliant

I also like ‘popup popart’ – the sound of it made me think at a pop-up book of pop art (warhol, maybe)

Very slick and the video is perfect.

What a gift, your poem and those images! I can’t believe it..!
I particularly adore Clint and Ray, that music, those “take 5” souls. And serendipity again, for the last video’s word.
Be blessed Paul.
